Yes honesty is best with reviews. If you like honest reviews, (and crafts) you should check out NerdEcrafter. Jazza and her have done stuff together. She is a crafter and has a craft kit review series!!!
To me they seem perfect for someone who doesn't know that blenders are a thing, or that you can blend with light colored markers if you want more complex colors than you can typically get with markers straight from the box. They seem like a kind of beginner product, but the price tag is pretty steep for a beginner product. I think I would enjoy using these markers to teach middle school kids about warm and cool variations of the same color. I also think these are a very, very expensive product for that end use. I personally wouldn't have even looked at them twice because they're *so thick.* I don't even like Copic or Prismacolor markers because they're so thick, and go down so, so wet. I mix Faber-Castell and Tombow brush tip pens. I love them. I've used them for years and years. (Admittedly, I'm doing fashion illustration, and not cartooning, so I want markers that create a softer, lighter, more fluid look. I don't want chunky blocks of super saturated color. I basically want markers that produce an almost watercolor effect, with greater control and saturation. If my style was more cartoon-y I would probably like them more.)
Thanks for always being honest with us, Jazza. I really admire UA-camr's who put the subscriber over the company and don't pull any BS just to keep getting free stuff. I hope you and yours are well. Oh, and thanks for the new video.
They pay him regardless. The only issue is that they might not use him again, and future sponsors might not want to risk using him. To be fair though its rare I see UA-camrs unashamedly pushing dodgy products. The closest I can think of are those razors, but then how bad can a razor be?
@@MrKota1974 yeah its not sponsored, but they sent him hundreds of dollars of free stuff just for him to basically say dont buy these products they're horrible
Let's also not forget to add the most important part: you can literally recreate this blending technique with other markers! I've seen artists try it by holding two pen nibs up to each other and waiting until they felt like it soaked in enough and it created the same effect! The only difference is Chameleon pens make it more convenient, so you only have to hold the long chamber on the table instead of holding two pen nibs together
Indigo well if you were going to replace your marker set, yeah. But if you already have markers you normally do this with or want to experiment with this type of gradient effect, my point is that you would not need to invest in a different set of markers if you already had some you owned or a different set of markers you were planning to buy that you heavily prefer.
Jazza, I would LOVE to see you try these markers again and instead of choosing colors that would be relatively easy to blend or close to each other in the spectrum, try some weird combinations that would be a HUGE pain in the ass to blend manually. Red and green, magenta and brown, blue and orange... Things of that nature and test them directly against your own manual blending! That could be interesting! Maybe a side by side piece? Half copic, half chameleon?
I'd be interested in seeing a video of him colouring the same artwork side by side using chameleons on one and copics on the other for both quality and time comparisons in this challenge!
I've realized in multiple videos (and this one too) in which people try out these markers they have a tendency to compare them to copic markers and their way of blending, and then are surprised they don't get the same result and tend to run into similar problems. I've been using chameleon markers for a few months now (for funsies :D) and I've noticed that most problems can be resolved by doing some things differently: For example: In this video, Jazza runs into the problem of the 'blending lines' being visible in some places; This happens when you move/'pull' the marker towards you to colour. With copic markers, this is no problem, you can push or pull the markers and the colour that comes out is the same, but with blending the chameleon markers you work with two colours in one marker, so the ink can only flow in one direction or it becomes messy. Second, people find it difficult to work with chameleon markers because it's not always clear how long it takes to go from one colour to the next; This, I agree with you, it's very tricky. But by using them more and more I started to get a feeling for it, it also helps to make a cheat sheet with practice strokes with 5 sec, 10 sec, etc. And something I also noticed is that when you put a darker colour on a lighter colour to blend it last longer than when you blend with putting a light colour on a darker marker. Which brings me to this third point: Jazza says he had trouble with the dark ink lasting too long before it went to a lighter colour; Yes, that tends to happen, I agree with you. But there's a simple solution :D Either practice with the timing... Or switch the blending markers; work from light to dark instead of from dark to light ^^ That's what I kinda like about chameleon markers is that you can blend both ways. With copic markers you blend with marker 1 (light) -> marker 2 -> marker 3 (dark) -> back to marker 1. With chameleon markers you can start with dark or light and blend to another colour. These are two different ways of blending for two different markers. I'm not against copics or anything, they work great! But usually people try the chameleons out and compare them too quickly to copics (which are more expensive, more well known, and thus more popular) and treat the chameleons like they would treat a copic marker. I don't mind that too much though, the only thing that bothers me is that people try out the cham markers once and then when they don't work like copic (which people usually have been using FAR longer than the 'three hours' for the video) they give up on them :/ I have only worked with the markers and I have no experience whatsoever with the pencils so I can't say anything about those :3 Oh yeah one more thing: you can ditch the colourless blending chambers on top of the markers if they bother you, they don't dry out that quick, and even of they do; just one drop of rubbing alcohol, and it works just fine :D (or use any other of the dozens of free blending chambers they send with it) Edit: Wow so many likes??? O.o Thank you so much guys!! You're the best!!!! Edit: Sorry I messed up the direction the marker should go D': It's fixed now, sorry if you read it first when I wrote it wrong (you have to push the marker, not pull towards you) sorry again, I wrote this very quickly at 1 am and read it wrong >->! Edit2: Re-reading this I realize I may come across a bit rude towards Jazza, I didn't mean to be that way! He did a wonderful job using the markers for the first time!!! And I'm completely fine with it if it isn't his preferred way to work with markers and whether he prefers copics over chameleons. This was more meant to talk about my experience and to share some hints or tips for people who want to try out chameleon markers too.
I like your comment and find that it is very insightful. Within the context of a review such as Jazza's the time that it would take to use these markers and give and account such as yours would be substabtially cost affective. As the saying goes time is money. Thus taking the fact that Copics have been the industry standard for quite a while it is far to say that the learning curve is quite greater with the Chameleon markers. That being said like presented in the video to each their own choice. If one does have the time to learn to work with them that is great and more power to them but if you don't have that time to take it isn't worth wasting ones time. Have a pleasant day!
@@annabanana2329 he's took the torch to follow the path Justin Y left last week or so He.... He is temporarily RETIRED _sob_ He replied to me a several times _drowns in tears_
I have tried these before and there is one main thing I really dislike about them.. they are so inconsistent. I will put the marker into the blending chamber and hold the marker in a certain way for 10 seconds EVERY TIME, yet when I use them on paper the ink starts changing at different times... This ultimately makes them more difficult to use than my copics, blick studio markers or Ohuhus... This being said, I think chameleon markers are really nice for coloring pages or beginners that are still trying to learn to blend. I think I would also like them more if I had the chambers to make it go from yellow to red, for instance.. I know those chambers are available, but they don't come in the $100 set which only comes with a colorless blender chamber.
To get a more consistent time put the caps back on with the tip down, and tap it on the table. This will ensure both tips are filled/saturated and should give a little better consistent blend time. This seemed to help when I used them.
Well, I guess that song really stuck in your head everytime. Let's give thanks to Culture Club (the band behind Karma Cameleon) for giving such a masterpiece song.
I had to listen to that song for 7 nearly hours straight. I'm not exaggerating. I was on a school trip, and all the teacher had on his laptop was karma chameleon, which his daughter played on loop until we got to where we were headed. At first, it seemed kinda catchy, but I'm afraid I can no longer appreciate it. Not after that.
Man, I have to be honest with you: I don't paint. I started watching your videos because one of them popped up in my recommended section (Comparing Expensive vs Cheap Oil Paints). As an "artist" myself (I'm a musician) I totally get that feeling you had towards the Chameleon markers. For me, if a guitar has lots of features and it's not a cheap instrument, I expect it to be a breeze to use, and most of the time I find myself leaning towards cheaper, simpler guitars because of the experience. You want your tools to be on your side, and whenever that's not the case it's just kinda frustrating, and especially with expensive gear that you're supposed to enjoy because it's expensive. Anyway, I just felt like actively agreeing with you because I've also felt the guilt of not enjoying the expensive, packed with features, marketable gear as much as cheaper, simpler gear. I actually enjoy your videos, they're starting to give me enough inspiration to try painting for myself. Keep up the good work and the good mood.
@@aru1224 i agree, but expensive guitars are different. All a more expensive piano will have is better sound, but while a more expensive guitar might have better sound, they are usually hard to use and bulky, where cheaper guitars are simple to use and like a regular guitar
I feel the markers are supposed to be for people who aren’t artists. I feel if you were to relax/calm down by using adult colouring books those would be perfect. It would be time consuming and satisfying to see them change. As an artist it is seen as a “get this done” but as a recreational drawer sees it as “time to chill and go with the flow”
Yes!!! I am colouring just for relax, I have cameleons and I have to say, they are amazing, specifically for adults coloring books. I can relax my anger by it :D I know, I'm young, but I don't see difference in adults coloring books and coloring books for guys my age.
I actually have these it takes a while to learn their tricks and stuff they work well for shading surprisingly and don’t take that much time to use gives you time to look at your art and decide what to do next while waiting a few seconds for the markers to blend
Yeah, sometimes it is nice to slow down when making art. You could watch UA-cam while you wait even. Though if you are in a hurry them maybe not a good marker to start off with.
Good info. Just bought the gray-scale 5-pack to get decent, variable shading with these 5 pens instead of around 10 seperate pens. If they work well, i'd like to perhaps try their colored markers next.
What kind of paper do you use (not talking about size a4 a3 etc) am talking about sketch pad or drawing pad I use it on a sketch book and it bleeds to that next page can you help me please
@@m.s.a.s9194 Alcohol markers always kind of bleed through the page. Put a thick sheet of paper behind your page to stop the damage on the page under it. I would recommend a mixed media sketchbook.
Chameleon: Omg we should send this famous art UA-camr our markers and pencils for free!! That way he’ll say great stuff about them and promote our brand to his millions of viewers!!!! Jazza: **makes this video** Chameleon: .....
Sure, the marker blending system seems a bit clunky but I gotta say, the results look pretty nice even if blending everything was a bit awkward. I just might pick these markers up for myself considering most sets of copics are way out of my budget
I think it being comfortable to use is so important. If it is uncomfortable to use then you are putting strain on your hand. And when art is your livelihood then you have to take care of your hands. Using something that is uncomfortable for hours at the time wouldn't be a good idea. I would prefer to spend more money for something that is easier on my body.
I've got the 72-pack of Rose Arts (which I hear lots of people complain about, though I've never had a problem) and love them. I've got an art teacher who wants us to color really hard when we use colored pencils but I like the softer look that Rose Arts and Crayolas have. Cheap supplies are really great in their own right a lot of the time :)
Hey Jazza, I love your videos a lot, but I feel in this one you didn't quite get the point of the Chameleon Markers... The mixing chamber that came with the markers is a colorless blender and contains clear alcohol. Applying this clear mixing chamber to the marker (which I didn't see you do in this video) gives you a gradient from light to dark (so basically from light to the color you chose). That is called "Color Tone" and the reason why the markers are called "Chameleon Color Tones". The Color Tops however do something different. They're basically an addition to the Chameleon Pens, but not necessary to use the Chameleon markers on their own. The Color Tops give you the opportunity to mix one color with another one and have a gradient from the one color to another. So you have 50 "Color Tones" Markers with a CLEAR mixing chamber (light to dark gradients) PLUS 50 "Color Tops" to combinate with the markers (color to color gradients). Knowing that makes using these markers a lot easier. Basically you can use the markers with the Color Tops to first put down a gradient (as you did perfectly) and then use the clear mixing chamber on your marker to darken up your shadows where needed and blend together the streaks that accidentally happened. I admit using Chameleon Markers is a little bit of a puzzle but once you get the hang of it, they're pretty fun to use and work with. They need some getting used to and definitely a bit of experience, but once you're able to master them, you'll have a lot of fun with them 😊 I can personally say after using all different kind of markers (cheap markers, Copic markers and Chameleon Markers) the Chameleon markers are definitely my favorites to work with 👍🏻 That being said, thanks for another great video with great art! But for the next time, please do some more research about a product before making a "review" that only covers half the things that you're able to do with a certain product 😉 Greetings from Germany, Sarah (Also, this comment is meant to be constructive criticism with additional product information, not a hate comment or the like :))
@@insupportofukrainianwhatto1908 Clare Lake Without a doubt, I think Jazza's videos are awesome and I absolutely love the things he does (that's why I'm also supporting him by buying and using his products from his shop). I highly rely on his opinion - for example I strongly based my decision which Mobile Studio Pro model to buy on his review video (which was a $3000 decision!). I honestly love his reviews, especially when they're as funny as this one, but I just wanted to point out that the pens can do more than what he has shown in the video since I had the feeling that they were a little bit mis-presented 😉 Wouldn't have said anything when it was just an "impressions video" but since he "reviewed" them I wanted to add what these markers are actually capable of 😀
Hey, Grüße aus Deutschland gehen an dich zurück. I understand what you r saying but maybe the video would have been to long or something... or he just didn’t research cause he didn’t want to be supposed to have a meaning for the markers and wanted to show us his own feeling about it and what he was able to find out how they’re working. 🙃
I have the markers and I love them so much. They're really fun for coloring books and cartooning. They're not as convoluted as they sound, they just take an adjustment period.
Yes!! Agree. I have tried them and they are so fun. It takes 15-25 seconds to take caps off and wait for the blend. They do take time to get used to to get the timing down of when to start coloring and when to stop blending. They are fun!!
You know you can add multiple color tops to mix multiple blends in one go. Eg. Red- yellow- blue. Im a big user of chameleon. I also bought their new fine liners!
@@vibrant__1383 yeah they're nice but it takes time to learn the tricks of using them and appreciating them you wont be disappointed of the end result (it really just takes time to adjust the muscle memory you already have with using other markers) .... So I understand Jazza because when I first bought chameleon, I was feeling the same way he does, but after a while when I started to know how to use it more efficiently it's great
I was gonna say he did not say they where bad. I have tried these markers they are cool!! It takes a little extra time and practice but results are great. Jazza is always in a rush doing videos and other work. If you enjoy art and don’t mind the extra 10-12 seconds changing caps and waiting for the blend they are great markers.
KittyBananas205 I may not be Jazza, but I do put jokes in every sentence like he tries to and it’s great. Everyone hates me already and I’ve only been doing it for a few months
That’s what we used when we went out of the lines. I bought 15 top parts but didn’t buy the pen part and is there anything anyone has learned like cracking them open and possibly using them without the other pen part? After all they are just markers, if anyone has played around with them and found a way to cut off half and maybe move a cap around or make it into something else let me know.

I guess it’s just how you use them. When Vexx used them, he seemed to like them a lot, with his only con being that it takes a very long time. However, he uses them for his doodle sketches, which are good to have nice blends for. When you use it, you make these detailed characters, where you need to pin-point shadows, making you’re experience different, and a little, worse, i guess as this type of thing doesn’t teally fot your style. (I personally live the chameleons! But I can see how you might not.)
I picked up 2 sets of the markers in Michael’s. While I agree about the circumference of the marker being rather bulky, if you take the color top (or colorless top) off and put the lid on the end you’re not using (i.e. you’re coloring with the brush tip, the lid would go on the bullet nib) and then the color top would be out of the way making the marker length more normal. Just put the color top on the brush nib like a regular lid when done. I think these markers could have some great effects but may take some practice getting there.
I have a video idea for you Jazza. Why don't you take all your swatching papers (idk what they're called. The papers where you test the colors and markers), and create art out of the random scribbles you did. I don't know if this is already a thing, it just popped into my head and I would love to see it. Like if you agree
That actually reminds me of his scribble art challenge, where he had his son (about 2 at the time) scribble on some paper, and Jazza made an AMAZING piece out of it. Freaking master.
Here's a suggestion: for shadows, first draw in the shadow with the corresponding pen. Then, take the cartridge of that same shade, and mix it just for like 1 or 2 seconds with the "true" shade of the object youre drawing (i.e. the one that corresponds to the well-lit part of the object, sorry I don't know any technical terms). Fill in the transition and the well-lit portions, and boom! no need to guess how long you have to hold the pen upside down, since you don't have to guess the amount of "shadow" ink you're gonna need! Hope this helps :)
Those have different meanings, though. Asking whether the tools are epic compared to whether they're just a gimmick isn't the same as asking whether they're rad or a fad. It's particularly "fad" that ruins the connection; "rad" could be related appropriately to "epic," but "fad" and "gimmick" are just two completely different things. But either way, both pairs rhyme, so maybe I'm missing inside-joke sort of context as to why the pairing you suggested would have been better.
I don't know why I did this, but I calculated the unit price for the 22 and 55 pack. The 22 pack was about $3.60 per marker and the 55 pack was about $2.10 per marker. So, if you used the 22 pack's unit price and times it by 36 to get the equivalen price to Copics, it'd be about $129.60 for Chameleon markers. Which is a good $40 difference and about 20% lower. However, if you used the 55 pack's unit price it'd be only $75.60 which is about 60% lower. So either way the Chameleon markers are considerably lower. I also averaged the two prices to get $102.6, which means a unit price of $2.85, which would be the most probable price point. And, it's also around 48% lower than Copics.
I just use my Chameleon markers as normal markers, I don't fiddle with that blending chamber stuff. To me, they're just cheaper than Copics with at least somewhat comparable quality.
@@beththedarkmage3359 Ohuhu markers can have awful splotches if you try to blend or layer them too much so best for rough small art, unlike copics they keep even. Not the best if they are looking for quality.
I have tried to use Copic markers and despite the popularity I always come back to Chameleon Markers. Jazza mentioned many times that something he didn't like about the markers was all the pieces you have to take apart and all the steps... actually all you have to do is take the marker lid off, the colour top off and put them together and hold. You don't actually have to take the white mixing chamber off the pen or both sides. He also didn't use the white mixing chamber that comes on the pen itself. I also think that the blending of the marker without the whole mixing process is even better than Copic markers. I believe that it's just the way you use them. I WAS SCREAMING through the screen when he was using them wrong or not professionally. I don't even own colour tops, I only own the markers them self because I can't afford the colour tops and I still get an amazing outcome. I also use the pencils which I also find much better than he described. NO HATE ON JAZZA I just feel like he should have given them more of a chance and experimented more. I get that they are big but it's something that you have to get used to. And is it their fault? All the things that the Chameleon Markers can do you'd expect a big pen. Again no hate just my opinion.

Glad you made this video! I just saw these new markers at Michael's a few weeks ago and I thought they looked interesting... I think I would give them a try at some point when it comes to quality, blending, and affordability but I can see how the multi-step process and the on spot timing of the blending can get in the way of what your trying to make
I got the 52 super set of chameleon markers last weekend. I haven't really colored with them yet but the few colors I tested on a paper are nice. I don't have any color tops yet but I want some. At least then my blending will be nice. Not like when I try using Copics and such.
The actual sets are color tone pens. Meaning the pens have the color but the color top is a colorless blender. If you buy a set you can only make fading gradients. You have to buy separate sets of color tops to be able to make different color gradients.
Have you tried just holding two markers together with their nibs, one upside down just like with these weird chamber things? With other pens like Tombow brush markers, this creates about the same blending effect. Not sure if there is actually any difference, or if the chameleon markers are simply overengineered for marketing reasons.
I got chameleon markers for christmas one year, and they are a very cool idea! But I completely agree with you, it always feels like im drawing with a giant pencil you'd buy as a kid, that is too top heavy to use well. I also think I end up using the colors by themselves rather than wasting my time waiting for the colors to blend together. Also the saturation is stronnng. I used to do those adult coloring books and even layering colors more than once would cause it to fade out of the lines.

Jazza, I would LOVE to see you try these markers again and instead of choosing colors that would be relatively easy to blend or close to each other in the spectrum, try some weird combinations that would be a HUGE pain in the ass to blend manually. Red and green, magenta and brown, blue and orange... Things of that nature and test them directly against your own manual blending! That could be interesting! Maybe a side by side piece? Half copic, half chameleon?
I'd be interested in seeing a video of him colouring the same artwork side by side using chameleons on one and copics on the other for both quality and time comparisons in this challenge!
Agree
TheLynx42 as a colourblind person I was genuinely confused when you said red and green were hard to blend lol
Agree
I've realized in multiple videos (and this one too) in which people try out these markers they have a tendency to compare them to copic markers and their way of blending, and then are surprised they don't get the same result and tend to run into similar problems. I've been using chameleon markers for a few months now (for funsies :D) and I've noticed that most problems can be resolved by doing some things differently:
For example: In this video, Jazza runs into the problem of the 'blending lines' being visible in some places; This happens when you move/'pull' the marker towards you to colour. With copic markers, this is no problem, you can push or pull the markers and the colour that comes out is the same, but with blending the chameleon markers you work with two colours in one marker, so the ink can only flow in one direction or it becomes messy.
Second, people find it difficult to work with chameleon markers because it's not always clear how long it takes to go from one colour to the next; This, I agree with you, it's very tricky. But by using them more and more I started to get a feeling for it, it also helps to make a cheat sheet with practice strokes with 5 sec, 10 sec, etc. And something I also noticed is that when you put a darker colour on a lighter colour to blend it last longer than when you blend with putting a light colour on a darker marker.
Which brings me to this third point: Jazza says he had trouble with the dark ink lasting too long before it went to a lighter colour; Yes, that tends to happen, I agree with you. But there's a simple solution :D Either practice with the timing... Or switch the blending markers; work from light to dark instead of from dark to light ^^ That's what I kinda like about chameleon markers is that you can blend both ways.
With copic markers you blend with marker 1 (light) -> marker 2 -> marker 3 (dark) -> back to marker 1. With chameleon markers you can start with dark or light and blend to another colour. These are two different ways of blending for two different markers.
I'm not against copics or anything, they work great! But usually people try the chameleons out and compare them too quickly to copics (which are more expensive, more well known, and thus more popular) and treat the chameleons like they would treat a copic marker.
I don't mind that too much though, the only thing that bothers me is that people try out the cham markers once and then when they don't work like copic (which people usually have been using FAR longer than the 'three hours' for the video) they give up on them :/
I have only worked with the markers and I have no experience whatsoever with the pencils so I can't say anything about those :3
Oh yeah one more thing: you can ditch the colourless blending chambers on top of the markers if they bother you, they don't dry out that quick, and even of they do; just one drop of rubbing alcohol, and it works just fine :D (or use any other of the dozens of free blending chambers they send with it)
Edit: Wow so many likes??? O.o Thank you so much guys!! You're the best!!!!
Edit: Sorry I messed up the direction the marker should go D': It's fixed now, sorry if you read it first when I wrote it wrong (you have to push the marker, not pull towards you) sorry again, I wrote this very quickly at 1 am and read it wrong >->!
Edit2: Re-reading this I realize I may come across a bit rude towards Jazza, I didn't mean to be that way! He did a wonderful job using the markers for the first time!!! And I'm completely fine with it if it isn't his preferred way to work with markers and whether he prefers copics over chameleons. This was more meant to talk about my experience and to share some hints or tips for people who want to try out chameleon markers too.
When is your fingers funeral?
@Torchick @BellaBloxGaming YT Actually, replies gives them life, so I don't think it's gonna be anytime soon :3
I like your comment and find that it is very insightful. Within the context of a review such as Jazza's the time that it would take to use these markers and give and account such as yours would be substabtially cost affective. As the saying goes time is money. Thus taking the fact that Copics have been the industry standard for quite a while it is far to say that the learning curve is quite greater with the Chameleon markers. That being said like presented in the video to each their own choice. If one does have the time to learn to work with them that is great and more power to them but if you don't have that time to take it isn't worth wasting ones time. Have a pleasant day!

I have tried these before and there is one main thing I really dislike about them.. they are so inconsistent.
I will put the marker into the blending chamber and hold the marker in a certain way for 10 seconds EVERY TIME, yet when I use them on paper the ink starts changing at different times... This ultimately makes them more difficult to use than my copics, blick studio markers or Ohuhus...
This being said, I think chameleon markers are really nice for coloring pages or beginners that are still trying to learn to blend. I think I would also like them more if I had the chambers to make it go from yellow to red, for instance.. I know those chambers are available, but they don't come in the $100 set which only comes with a colorless blender chamber.
To get a more consistent time put the caps back on with the tip down, and tap it on the table. This will ensure both tips are filled/saturated and should give a little better consistent blend time. This seemed to help when I used them.
oh shoot, i know you from amino and discord, really love your art. Keep up the amazing work!
Love your art!
My advice is to use these for skin and eyes mostly. Both need gradual blends
I have walked by these markers so many times in my local art shop and thought how will I make the mix consistent. I generally use copics.

I had that Cama cama Camaleon stuck in my head for a week and finally got rid of it, then I watched this, thanks Jazza.
Well, I guess that song really stuck in your head everytime. Let's give thanks to Culture Club (the band behind Karma Cameleon) for giving such a masterpiece song.
the first and only time i heard that song was in some sort of alvin and the chipmunks ddr rip-off
glad _that_ version didn't get stuck in my head
I heard the cure is to listen to the whole song
Your profile picture matches you comment 🤣
I had to listen to that song for 7 nearly hours straight. I'm not exaggerating. I was on a school trip, and all the teacher had on his laptop was karma chameleon, which his daughter played on loop until we got to where we were headed. At first, it seemed kinda catchy, but I'm afraid I can no longer appreciate it. Not after that.

Man, I have to be honest with you: I don't paint. I started watching your videos because one of them popped up in my recommended section (Comparing Expensive vs Cheap Oil Paints).
As an "artist" myself (I'm a musician) I totally get that feeling you had towards the Chameleon markers. For me, if a guitar has lots of features and it's not a cheap instrument, I expect it to be a breeze to use, and most of the time I find myself leaning towards cheaper, simpler guitars because of the experience. You want your tools to be on your side, and whenever that's not the case it's just kinda frustrating, and especially with expensive gear that you're supposed to enjoy because it's expensive.
Anyway, I just felt like actively agreeing with you because I've also felt the guilt of not enjoying the expensive, packed with features, marketable gear as much as cheaper, simpler gear.
I actually enjoy your videos, they're starting to give me enough inspiration to try painting for myself. Keep up the good work and the good mood.
I really appreciate this comment. As a fellow guitarist, agreed :)
As a fellow guitarist I can say I’m not a fan of expensive guitars either especially when they’re super bulky
Jake Er As a Pianist I gotta say, the more expensive, the better.
@@aru1224 i agree, but expensive guitars are different. All a more expensive piano will have is better sound, but while a more expensive guitar might have better sound, they are usually hard to use and bulky, where cheaper guitars are simple to use and like a regular guitar
I find no matter with instruments or drawing tools, I need some form of familiarity to what I used previously or it becomes too uncomfortable to use
Coloring pieces in with these things may be a pain in the ass but they can be super cool and useful for brush calligraphy!
Oh. That I need to see, that sounds satisfying as hell.

I feel the markers are supposed to be for people who aren’t artists. I feel if you were to relax/calm down by using adult colouring books those would be perfect. It would be time consuming and satisfying to see them change. As an artist it is seen as a “get this done” but as a recreational drawer sees it as “time to chill and go with the flow”
thank you!!!
Yes!!! I am colouring just for relax, I have cameleons and I have to say, they are amazing, specifically for adults coloring books. I can relax my anger by it :D I know, I'm young, but I don't see difference in adults coloring books and coloring books for guys my age.
exactly what i use them for :)
I agree with this, but sadly I can’t afford any of these markers for myself
The thing is they say “for artists” in the book thingy but otherwise I would agree with you
I actually have these it takes a while to learn their tricks and stuff they work well for shading surprisingly and don’t take that much time to use gives you time to look at your art and decide what to do next while waiting a few seconds for the markers to blend
Yeah, sometimes it is nice to slow down when making art. You could watch UA-cam while you wait even. Though if you are in a hurry them maybe not a good marker to start off with.
Good info. Just bought the gray-scale 5-pack to get decent, variable shading with these 5 pens instead of around 10 seperate pens. If they work well, i'd like to perhaps try their colored markers next.
I genuinely use chameleon markers

@callingpine96 _nooooo_
@@pine4895 you ruined it
😂 that’s epic
Sure, the marker blending system seems a bit clunky but I gotta say, the results look pretty nice even if blending everything was a bit awkward. I just might pick these markers up for myself considering most sets of copics are way out of my budget
GlassyColors you can get the same results from less time consuming and easier to use products. Such as alcohol based markers
I mean, they are alcohol based markers in the end as well.
i would definitely recommend buying them, it takes a little while to get used to them but over time they get a lot less difficult.
I think it being comfortable to use is so important. If it is uncomfortable to use then you are putting strain on your hand. And when art is your livelihood then you have to take care of your hands. Using something that is uncomfortable for hours at the time wouldn't be a good idea. I would prefer to spend more money for something that is easier on my body.

Hey Jazza,
I love your videos a lot, but I feel in this one you didn't quite get the point of the Chameleon Markers...
The mixing chamber that came with the markers is a colorless blender and contains clear alcohol. Applying this clear mixing chamber to the marker (which I didn't see you do in this video) gives you a gradient from light to dark (so basically from light to the color you chose). That is called "Color Tone" and the reason why the markers are called "Chameleon Color Tones".
The Color Tops however do something different. They're basically an addition to the Chameleon Pens, but not necessary to use the Chameleon markers on their own. The Color Tops give you the opportunity to mix one color with another one and have a gradient from the one color to another.
So you have 50 "Color Tones" Markers with a CLEAR mixing chamber (light to dark gradients) PLUS 50 "Color Tops" to combinate with the markers (color to color gradients).
Knowing that makes using these markers a lot easier. Basically you can use the markers with the Color Tops to first put down a gradient (as you did perfectly) and then use the clear mixing chamber on your marker to darken up your shadows where needed and blend together the streaks that accidentally happened.
I admit using Chameleon Markers is a little bit of a puzzle but once you get the hang of it, they're pretty fun to use and work with. They need some getting used to and definitely a bit of experience, but once you're able to master them, you'll have a lot of fun with them 😊
I can personally say after using all different kind of markers (cheap markers, Copic markers and Chameleon Markers) the Chameleon markers are definitely my favorites to work with 👍🏻
That being said, thanks for another great video with great art! But for the next time, please do some more research about a product before making a "review" that only covers half the things that you're able to do with a certain product 😉
Greetings from Germany,

(Also, this comment is meant to be constructive criticism with additional product information, not a hate comment or the like :))
Ok you're being polite and I respect that, but Jazza doesn't do research, that's why these videos are hilarious
@@insupportofukrainianwhatto1908 Clare Lake Without a doubt, I think Jazza's videos are awesome and I absolutely love the things he does (that's why I'm also supporting him by buying and using his products from his shop). I highly rely on his opinion - for example I strongly based my decision which Mobile Studio Pro model to buy on his review video (which was a $3000 decision!).
I honestly love his reviews, especially when they're as funny as this one, but I just wanted to point out that the pens can do more than what he has shown in the video since I had the feeling that they were a little bit mis-presented 😉
Wouldn't have said anything when it was just an "impressions video" but since he "reviewed" them I wanted to add what these markers are actually capable of 😀
Damn that is a real long ass comment
Hey, Grüße aus Deutschland gehen an dich zurück.
I understand what you r saying but maybe the video would have been to long or something... or he just didn’t research cause he didn’t want to be supposed to have a meaning for the markers and wanted to show us his own feeling about it and what he was able to find out how they’re working. 🙃
That was a unnecessarily long comment, even the comment you sent to another person was too long.
is no one gonna talk about how he can sing.....
well he had a channel where he did songs and singing so we all kind of know
pretty sure he studied singing for a long time... not really "low key", and yeah we also all kinda know
He made a video with Roomie official
oh, well I feel dumb rn lol
I was gonna search a comment like this 😂😂
I have the markers and I love them so much. They're really fun for coloring books and cartooning. They're not as convoluted as they sound, they just take an adjustment period.
Yes!! Agree. I have tried them and they are so fun. It takes 15-25 seconds to take caps off and wait for the blend. They do take time to get used to to get the timing down of when to start coloring and when to stop blending. They are fun!!
Make something using the blowart pens!

Do you use them for drawing like he did? I'd only heard of people using them for lettering so I was kind of going 😕
Sassy Winter Fox He didn’t justify how good chameleon markers actually are, They just aren’t super practical. They are rlly nice markers actually
@@vibrant__1383 yeah they're nice but it takes time to learn the tricks of using them and appreciating them you wont be disappointed of the end result (it really just takes time to adjust the muscle memory you already have with using other markers) .... So I understand Jazza because when I first bought chameleon, I was feeling the same way he does, but after a while when I started to know how to use it more efficiently it's great
So they're basically expensive blendy pens

That’s what we used when we went out of the lines.

I guess it’s just how you use them. When Vexx used them, he seemed to like them a lot, with his only con being that it takes a very long time. However, he uses them for his doodle sketches, which are good to have nice blends for. When you use it, you make these detailed characters, where you need to pin-point shadows, making you’re experience different, and a little, worse, i guess as this type of thing doesn’t teally fot your style. (I personally live the chameleons! But I can see how you might not.)

Jazza: *takes off packaging and throws it* go away

(Fixed)
The karma chameleon line cracked me up so bad I make that joke ALL THE TIME.
I picked up 2 sets of the markers in Michael’s. While I agree about the circumference of the marker being rather bulky, if you take the color top (or colorless top) off and put the lid on the end you’re not using (i.e. you’re coloring with the brush tip, the lid would go on the bullet nib) and then the color top would be out of the way making the marker length more normal. Just put the color top on the brush nib like a regular lid when done. I think these markers could have some great effects but may take some practice getting there.
I agree
I'm sorry that's so confusing...
I love Michael's
Amy- I am too.
Can we all just agree that Jazza's voice is absolutely wonderful?
Yeah when I found his music channel I was mind blown.

Aren’t these just fancy blendy pens?
Omg I loved those as a kid
Fun fact Chameleon makes blendy pens
No
I have a video idea for you Jazza.
Why don't you take all your swatching papers (idk what they're called. The papers where you test the colors and markers), and create art out of the random scribbles you did.
I don't know if this is already a thing, it just popped into my head and I would love to see it.
Like if you agree
ooh that's a really cool idea!
I don't know why, but I read that as pooped into my head. Must be the mindset watching Jazza.
Not a bad Idea! Not bad at all. But I do think he simply throws them away after swatching
That's what I did with mine.
That actually reminds me of his scribble art challenge, where he had his son (about 2 at the time) scribble on some paper, and Jazza made an AMAZING piece out of it. Freaking master.
Here's a suggestion: for shadows, first draw in the shadow with the corresponding pen. Then, take the cartridge of that same shade, and mix it just for like 1 or 2 seconds with the "true" shade of the object youre drawing (i.e. the one that corresponds to the well-lit part of the object, sorry I don't know any technical terms). Fill in the transition and the well-lit portions, and boom! no need to guess how long you have to hold the pen upside down, since you don't have to guess the amount of "shadow" ink you're gonna need! Hope this helps :)
Jazza: Coma coma coma chameleon!
Chameleon: We’ve made a big mistake fellas!
the editing makes it unbelievably more funny
The editing is the best part haha 😝
Why did you say 'epic or gimmick' when you could say 'rad or fad'? Opportunity missed
With the amount of Mathais (I can't spell) videos I've seen, there are SO MANY rhymes I can think of
Chloe Liu pretty sure he is.
@Chloe Liu yeah he is
Those have different meanings, though. Asking whether the tools are epic compared to whether they're just a gimmick isn't the same as asking whether they're rad or a fad. It's particularly "fad" that ruins the connection; "rad" could be related appropriately to "epic," but "fad" and "gimmick" are just two completely different things.
But either way, both pairs rhyme, so maybe I'm missing inside-joke sort of context as to why the pairing you suggested would have been better.
Wowey Zowey Matthias?
The pencil was design to keep you awake when you are drawing
Or for other reasons.... 🤔. Perhaps they had John Wick in mind, eh? 🤨
✏=😵
Excuse me, how talented are you? U sing amazingly, DRAW EVERYTHING PERFECTLY, sculpting and making pretty much everything. God really blessed u
I don't know why I did this, but I calculated the unit price for the 22 and 55 pack. The 22 pack was about $3.60 per marker and the 55 pack was about $2.10 per marker. So, if you used the 22 pack's unit price and times it by 36 to get the equivalen price to Copics, it'd be about $129.60 for Chameleon markers. Which is a good $40 difference and about 20% lower. However, if you used the 55 pack's unit price it'd be only $75.60 which is about 60% lower. So either way the Chameleon markers are considerably lower. I also averaged the two prices to get $102.6, which means a unit price of $2.85, which would be the most probable price point. And, it's also around 48% lower than Copics.
Wow you are a maths person!

woah
You pay for what you get.
whoever copies off of u in math better have an A
I just use my Chameleon markers as normal markers, I don't fiddle with that blending chamber stuff. To me, they're just cheaper than Copics with at least somewhat comparable quality.
Cheaper than copics? They're more expensive where I'm from. And if you want something cheaper that's similar just use Ohuhu markers or something.
It's cheaper here.
Huh. That's a good idea. I'll try that.
That's pretty smart
@@beththedarkmage3359 Ohuhu markers can have awful splotches if you try to blend or layer them too much so best for rough small art, unlike copics they keep even. Not the best if they are looking for quality.
Oh my god Jazza what art medium can’t you do. Your great at drawing, singing, crafts, and probably great at music.
I mean he was in a band and at vidcon he made a painting while playing various instrument
I love it so much that morph is on the background!!! Treasure Planet is such an underrated movie.
I have tried to use Copic markers and despite the popularity I always come back to Chameleon Markers. Jazza mentioned many times that something he didn't like about the markers was all the pieces you have to take apart and all the steps... actually all you have to do is take the marker lid off, the colour top off and put them together and hold. You don't actually have to take the white mixing chamber off the pen or both sides. He also didn't use the white mixing chamber that comes on the pen itself. I also think that the blending of the marker without the whole mixing process is even better than Copic markers. I believe that it's just the way you use them. I WAS SCREAMING through the screen when he was using them wrong or not professionally. I don't even own colour tops, I only own the markers them self because I can't afford the colour tops and I still get an amazing outcome. I also use the pencils which I also find much better than he described. NO HATE ON JAZZA I just feel like he should have given them more of a chance and experimented more. I get that they are big but it's something that you have to get used to. And is it their fault? All the things that the Chameleon Markers can do you'd expect a big pen. Again no hate just my opinion.
I KNOW! He was using them so wrong and the blending is amazing if you do it right. Way better than copics tbh
They're markers. The fact that there's a right or a wrong way to use them is itself a mark against them. No pun intended.
@@odpvids5403 omgI feel that to! copics do not blend as well
@@pumkin54 well there is a right and wrong way to use eveything and every art supply. using them the wrong way can/will break them and art suppies are very expensive
@la belle province I don't really make videos.. but i totally agree! its a more affordable option and blend much better :)
If art does not work out then you know you have music. 😂😂
Edit: thank you for 150+ likes!!
He actually has a music channel. Forgot the name (and he doesn't upload on it anymore), but I came across it one day
He has 3.4mil subs. Pretty sure art worked out for him

Sorry for being Betty Know it all but love is all around is actually original from 1966 don by the Troggs. I was just as shocked when my mom was singing it the one day when I was a teen. I asked how she knew who Wet Wet Wet were and she had no clue, said it was by the Troggs... Yes I'm old and full of useless information... Love your videos even though your an Aussie and I'm a Saffer (South African)
....to think I've seen The Troggs live, too - god I feel old 🤫
I believe my Dad went to Troggs concert when they came to SA many many many years ago. Also, we don't call ourselves Saffers XD haha
lol fair enough, I'm a Scot - but not ginger or a kilt wearer (apart from at weddings).... But I do like whiskey and haggis 😊
Am i the only one who's gonna talk about his singing skills
radom gamer no
What do you mean~? *I can't see the markers* ... 😏
Get it~? Cause they're "chameleon" markers?
Hahahahahahahaha hahah ... hah... ha... ha... sorry
hmm
OH NOW I GET IT
-_-
Don't EVER do that again, young man!
Ooooh, I get it!
Get off the stage.
this actually made me laugh...
wuts wrong with me
15 seconds in and we already have a jazza joke 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 amazing
Glad you made this video! I just saw these new markers at Michael's a few weeks ago and I thought they looked interesting... I think I would give them a try at some point when it comes to quality, blending, and affordability but I can see how the multi-step process and the on spot timing of the blending can get in the way of what your trying to make
Are we not going to talk about that character design? I think it's really cool.👌
I first saw these markers on Vexx’s challenge with these markers and it was amazing! If you haven’t seen that video, I highly suggest it!

I thought these would be markers that would change colors in some way
I got the 52 super set of chameleon markers last weekend. I haven't really colored with them yet but the few colors I tested on a paper are nice. I don't have any color tops yet but I want some. At least then my blending will be nice. Not like when I try using Copics and such.
SentraTheDragon so all the markers in the 52 pack come with a colour top, right? But the other packs that he got do they come with different colours
The actual sets are color tone pens. Meaning the pens have the color but the color top is a colorless blender. If you buy a set you can only make fading gradients. You have to buy separate sets of color tops to be able to make different color gradients.
With the copics have you tried using the blender/colorless one?
Yes I actually use it quite a bit. I have the colorless blender in Ciao and Sketch marker and I got myself a refill for it because I use it so much.
Have you tried just holding two markers together with their nibs, one upside down just like with these weird chamber things? With other pens like Tombow brush markers, this creates about the same blending effect. Not sure if there is actually any difference, or if the chameleon markers are simply overengineered for marketing reasons.
I was actually so surprised when he started singing! It was really good!
Bring back drunk with jazza livestreams
Idk why but i want it too
Rumman Naser yea they were super fun lmao
They we're funny but I'm more concerned for his health
Suzy Rose Blossom true, a lot of alcohol isn’t good for anyone
Cm mcg c f2f next
I got chameleon markers for christmas one year, and they are a very cool idea! But I completely agree with you, it always feels like im drawing with a giant pencil you'd buy as a kid, that is too top heavy to use well. I also think I end up using the colors by themselves rather than wasting my time waiting for the colors to blend together. Also the saturation is stronnng. I used to do those adult coloring books and even layering colors more than once would cause it to fade out of the lines.
Jazza, pls do a video where you draw using an electric muscle massager, it would be hilarious!
Oh shirt dogs, he can actually sing.
Just saw you with the scissors and remembered what my Craft and Design teacher said. “When boys use scissors you don’t really know what are they going to cut so be prepared ” 😂
Sexism is a hilarious joke to share on the internet with thousands of unnecessarily sensitive people.
@@lettuce01 well its not really sexism as it wasn't actually negative towards men and you really seem like the only sensitive one here.
@@thepeopleslast2579 boys not knowing how to use scissors is an obvious insult in a joking manner. The sensitive people i was talking about are the idiots who get into full blown arguments over stupud stuff like this.
Karma Cameleon still gets me everytime when Jazza sings it.
I was half expecting him to get the actual blender out again to blend these.
Jazza: “And that way you’ll be happy-“
Me: You’ll be glad! Light it up! With Magic Pad!
Jazza: “That you came! And didn’t go!”
Me: oh...
Lol
Here I was expecting:
"Cama Cama Cama CamaLEAON, YO SOY EL CAMALEON!"

Omg same!! Now it's stuck to my head again lol
